Ford storage bins (pivot storage box) installed in bed

[Tr1tium]

Installed passenger side Ford storage bin. Quality seems OK but they are overpriced. I think it’ll be useful though.

Seems handy, but I agree it's a bit overpriced. I see some other brands online, so assume they'd eventually come out with one fit for the new Rangers.

I had them on my 2021 Ranger. I took them off and it looks like they will fit my new 24. I just need it to stop raining long enough to test it. Great for holding towing equipment and straps.

On a side note, do you find it blocks the bed lights? That is my fear.

 

[Tr1tium]

It’s slightly blocks the bed lights, but it’s not bad

 

[Bonder]

Great, that is good to know. I also see you have the spray in bed liner, did you have to retap the factory holes? Or were you able to thread the bolts in with the liner in the holes?

I have a side Ford box from my '19 I'd like to swap to the new RR. Am concerned about the bed wall bracket. Will they interchange and the mounting holes align?

I went and checked my brackets tonight. Looks like the one for the bed that uses the tie down bolts lines up prefect. The rear bracket that the case swings on doesn't line up. The older Gen has 3 holes, looking at the photos posted there are only two and three bracket is shorter. I'll have to do some dry fits but I'll likely just drill new holes in the bracket.

Yes, it was a pain. I used the bolt and slowly tightened and loosened it to get the bedliner out.

I've been considering them, but the cost did give me pause. Luckily buying the truck gave me almost enough good boy points to redeem for one.

Would you mind posting a night photo with the bed lights on? Curious to see how much of the light is blocked with the pivot box.

Installed mine yesterday. Also have spray in bedliner. No problems with factory holes, they must have inserted bolts or plugs of some kind.

However, be sure to use a hammer to insert torx driver through bedliner on factory screws. Mine were very difficult to remove. Not sure what kind of thread lock they use…

Ruined one bolt head and broke an easy out. Finally had to use channel locks to slowly back it out..
Replaced all 4 factory bolts with black Allen headed M8x1.25 bolts from hardware store. Ugh!

Does the inside have dividers or trays?

Looks nice - thanks for posting! Curious, with a tonneau cover on, do you think you'd still be able to fully open the lid and access the inside of the box?

No dividers, but they have a small tray that goes at the shallowest point, over the wheel well.

With the tonneau cover closed, you cannot fully open the lid when its in the stowed position, I have to swing mine out to the tailgate to open the lid.

Great thanks. Yes I was expecting to need to swing the box out from the stowed position to open, but wasn’t sure if the lid extends beyond the top of the bed when opening the box (I.e. I’d have to open the tonneau a little to get to the contents)
